Just put a ebay bid on 2" Rush slip ons. Tired of guessing if it will work and majority says it will. Figure I can always change air and get p/c later. Okay...nobody else bid on these pipes and all will be well.

 

All good advice above. I had RUSH slip ons before i got my Vance & Hines BSS.
I can only add if I had it to do over, I would of went straight for the full set of pipes right off and skipped the slip on stage. They sounded great etc etc, but I realized I should of taken the slip on money and applied to my full set of pipes.
That's just me....and my $.02

Thats a good point,, I am not up to date on the CAT's in the new bikes yet. Don't know if there in the headers or mufflers either. Haven't read or heard that much on them..

I almost done a 2-1 system when I added the cams last yr,,,, but after reading and looking around at all the different pipes I could find, I wanted to hear them in person,,, I ended up keeping mine.. The HP and TQ I am losing just didn't matter as much as I like the sound of what I have.

Now iff-in I ever do a 103 kit I'll probably be look-in at the 2-1's again..

 

I'm sort of in the same situation as she is....though I do know where the cats are (in the mufflers) on my 2010 Super Glide. I want them out.....and the consensus seems to be that a set of slip-ons and XiED's should rich'n it up a bit. I don't mind the quiet sound, my Valkyrie Interstate has 6 unbaffled cobra straight pipes, and when I want to wake the neighborhood up or set off car alarms, that's the ticket!

The XiED's look like they should be simple to install....is there much in the way of wire bundle problems when you replace the old harnesses with the new...or is it a pretty clean replacement?

I just want the S G to run cooler for greater longevity....not concerned about comfort, but that extra heat from the lean FA mixture (combined with the cats) can't be good for an air-cooled engine.

 

You hit into my major concern, the Cat holding in all that heat! It ain't so bad in the wind but on hot summer days in traffic they are tough on an air cooled engine.

The XIED's just plug in, you unplug the cable that runs to the o2 sensor and they just snap in between the o2 sensor cable and the ECM plug side.

A snap to install and a snap to remove if you have to take the bike to the dealer!

The touring guys have it tough, the 2010's all have them in the headpipe! They have to buy the whole header, the slipons make it easy to dump them for some of the 2010 models with the cats in the OEM muffler.

If it don't kill the looks of your bike, I'd give the Jagg 10 row oil cooler some thought, some even put the fan kit on them if you spend a lot of time at idle in traffic. The Lanale Head fan is not bigger than the horn cover it displaces and some of the city guys swear by them.
This is over kill on a cruiser unless you spend a lot of time in traffic on hot days.

Of course the total cure is replacing that EPA CAM and getting a good tune. If you looked at the 2010 Emissions standards you can see why they leaned em out and hung a cat on em.

No big deal, we mod em anyway, just part of the Harley Tax

 

The only thing I have done to my 09 dyna is 2" rush slip ons. They do sound awesome compared to the stock pipes, nice and deep with no popping, or any other problems. I did not notice any "seat of the pants" changes in performance, but just the sound alone is worth it.

I do have a pcv, and stage 1 a/c waiting for me to install.

I got a killer deal on the slip ons. I was at a dealer, and started talking to one of the younger salesmen. The conversation got around to mods, and I mentioned I was looking for some slip ons. He said he has a super glide and only put about 200 miles on his rush slip ons, then bought v&h short shots. He offered them to me for $150. When I came back the next day I said I would give him $120 being used and all, he said ok the last guy he tried to sell them to never came up with he money, and he just wanted to get rid of them.

Well turns out he goes to his truck and brings out his entire stock exhaust, 2" slash out rush slip ons, heat shields, clamps, and bolts, all looking brand new.

That was a good day.

 

Rush 2.0 slip-ons.
Dealer did remap and air cleaner, stage 1.
Don't know why you would need Power Commander?

 

pipes better! i started with slip ons but seems like half the job! full system now! regardless which way you go do it yourself!! slip ons really easy,and full system little harder but still not difficult

 

Rush pipes are awesome. I've had them for two years with no problems at all. Love the sound. You need not buy anything else unless you want to. Go for it!
